Scratch that. merb-helpers probably isn't portable to Rails 3. Why? My first big disappointment with Rails 3 is they kept the horrendously bad view helper idiom of:
<% form do %> ... <% end %> My favorite feature of merb was that helpers just returned a string (and not crazy hacks using concat and buffers). Similar to: <%= form do %> ... <% end =%> Writing reusable view helpers with rails is a nightmare, and I don't see that changing in Rails 3. I could have sworn I saw Yehuda's blog post that he found a way to make <%= some_helper do %> <% end %> work in Rails3. Not sure why it got removed. Here's the post http://yehudakatz.com/2009/08/31/simplifying-rails-block-helpers-with-a-side-of-rubinius/ I dunno, maybe its still possible and I'm just missing something. I'll keep investigating.
